"Mother: Caring for 7 Billion" An incisive documentary that takes a discerning look at over-population, what fuels it and why the world is so complacent - dispelling the myth that its long been solved. It conveys its message in an engaging and visually immersive style that balances hard facts and ordinary human involvement. 

"Saving Face" A riveting look at the brutal practice of acid attacks, primarily on women, in Pakistan and the individuals who are working to help those victimized individually as well as those advocating for legislation to confront this terrifying social problem politically and culturally. 

"Open Sesame: The Story of Seeds" An involving documentary examining the essential need for a wide variety of seeds being broadly available in order to maintain bio-diversity in our crops and healthy soil conditions for the future. Over the past hundred years, seeds have steadily shifted from being common heritage to sovereign property - this is that story and what efforts are being taken now to try and change course.

"Nelson Algren: The End is Nothing, the Road is All" A captivating documentary of one of America's greatest and least understood authors. As revealed in rare interviews with Kurt Vonnegut and Studs Terkel (literary giants in their own right) and others, as well as archival footage of the gritty noirish voice of Algren himself - a colorful picture is painted of a complicated man and talented writer. He lived on the wild side and his novels, road books and countless other stories and essays were prophetic then and still hit the mark today.
